Acronis not recovering anything. Just restarts and nothing happened.

Thread needs solution

Hello. So i have Acronis True Image 2017. I made an image of my C: Partition. When i click in Acronis, Recover. It asks after a second to restart. I restart and nothing happened. Everything is still as it is. There's another problem as well. I have an MSI Laptop. I put 2 hours of work to make my image as i want it. When i boot with WinPE Acronis bootable USB. It doesn't recognise the SSD's configured in RAID. I don't know which RAID version. So i can't create a working image from the boot USB and i can't recover from boot USB. It's getting on my nerves that nothing is working.

pascalizer, welcome to these user forums.

You have introduced two different issues in this forum topic.

When you attempt to do a recovery from within the Windows Acronis GUI, then Acronis has to create a temporary Linux OS environment and then modify your Windows boot configuration data to boot from that Linux environment.  This is prone to problems and can result in an unbootable system if anything goes wrong and the Windows boot configuration changes are not undone.

The most probable reason why nothing happens when doing this type of reboot, is that you have a UEFI BIOS system with Secure Boot enabled and this is preventing the Linux OS environment from starting to launch the Acronis program.

Leaving that first issue for a moment, you now have introduced a further factor with your MSI laptop, that this has SSD's configured in RAID, which renders the choice of rebooting into the Linux OS environment as redundant, as this does not support RAID and has no drivers to do so.

In order to do this type of OS recovery, you will need to create customised Windows PE Rescue media that includes RAID support, and fortunately for you, this is available via the MVP Tool - Custom ATI WINPE Builder tool that is linked below in my signature.  I would recommend that you download this tool and use it to make a new WinPE bootable USB stick that includes the Intel RST drivers needed for RAID, then test using this media.

It worked. With the tool you told me to use i made a bootable USB and i could recover the image i made just fine. Thanks a lot!

Glad to hear the MVP Tool worked for you and resolved this issue.  Thanks for giving feedback.
